The intervention group participated in eight weekly sessions of lifestyle education integrated with mindfulness-based stress reduction, while the control group received no intervention. Participants completed validated questionnaires assessing health anxiety (HAI-18) and health dimensions (Four-Dimensional Health Scale) at baseline, post-intervention, and 1.5-month follow-up. Data were analyzed using repeated measures ANOVA and multivariate analysis of covariance.</p> <p><strong>Findings: </strong>The intervention led to a statistically significant reduction in health anxiety scores and sustained improvements across multiple health domains—including psychological, social, physical, and spiritual well-being—compared to the control group (p &lt; 0.001). Key health anxiety indicators, such as perceived likelihood of illness and general health concerns, decreased substantially and these benefits persisted at follow-up. Similarly, significant gains were observed in total health scores and specific dimensions of quality of life, with the intervention explaining a considerable proportion of variance in outcomes.</p> <p><strong>Conclusion:</strong> Healthy lifestyle education combined with mindfulness-based stress reduction is an effective intervention for reducing health anxiety and enhancing multidimensional health among pregnant women at risk for preeclampsia. Integration of such programs into standard prenatal care—especially for high-risk populations—is recommended.</p> https://journals.kmanpub.com/index.php/psywoman/article/download/4615/8491
